Bubbles

Today we discovered that Mike is that master bubble blower. Capturing the bubbles on film provides one the opportunity to admire the reflections in the bubbles and their disintegration.






It was Anders's idea to bring out the bubbles. "When the bubbles are in the air, it looks like I'm swimming."

Happy Mother's Day!

This year we had the pleasure of celebrating Mother's Day with three of our mothers at the same time: Grandma Lee, Grandma Donna, and 'Mom' (aka Corinne). An early arrival of summer weather made for a nice day of sitting in the sun and BBQ-ing. We decided to add a representative of Mother Nature to our celebration and took a brief excursion to The Big Tree on Mt. Adams, the largest known Ponderosa Pine.


84 inches as of when?

While Corinne set up her 10mm wide-angle lens, Anders led a parade around the tree.







Here we are at the same tree back in July 2006. Can you tell if it looks any bigger? (We didn't bring our tape measure.)



Happy Mother's Day!
